Wine from Rheinhessen
Filter
Rheinhessen, also known as ‘the land of thousand hills’ is the largest wine region in Germany. It is situated at the southern part of Rheingau, northern part of Pfalz and eastern part of Nahe. Rheinhessen region is characterized by stony soils and warm climate that provide warmth and cultivation to different kinds of grape vines in the region.
Rheinhessen is divided into three regions; Bereich Nierstein, Bereich Bingen and Bereich Wonnegau. Bereich Nierstein is popular for its rich mineral deposits that make it a viable region for grape varietals to grow. Bereich Bingen accounts for majority of red wines produced in Rheinhessen. Bereich Wonnegau is home to Scheurebe grape that makes up about three percent of Rheinhessen’s wine produce.
A Müller-Thurgau grape leads the wine production in Rheinhessen followed by Riesling. Silvaner grape is considered to be the region’s oldest grape varietal but is not commonly produced now as it was before. Dornfelder dominates the red grape production in the region although Pinot Noir from Spätburgunder and Blanc de Noir has grown popular over the years.
